ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Hilary Boynton is a certified holistic health counselor, received a BA in psychology from the
University of Virginia and was trained at the Institute for Integrative
Nutrition. The devoted mother of five young kids, Hilary has seen the power of
nutritional healing firsthand. Inspired by her own experience of “food as
medicine,” she has dedicated herself to helping others on their path to
wellness as a cook, coach, and professional educator. Hilary supports her
clients by integrating “Paleo” and “Primal” philosophies with the wisdom of the
Ancestral Health Movement and the Weston A. Price Foundation. Hilary is a
Weston A. Price chapter leader, runs several local food co-ops, teaches cooking
classes out of her house, and helped to open a farm-to-table restaurant in
Concord, Massachusetts, where she lives with her family.
Mary
Giordano Brackett is a whole foods advocate and a creative visionary based out of Boston,
Massachusetts. After receiving her BFA in photography from Massachusetts
College of Art and Design, Mary went on to photograph hundreds of weddings,
events, people, and places before recognizing her true passion: the healing power
of real food. Combining a love of photography with a devotion to nutrition is
her life’s work, illustrating and illuminating the importance of our food
choices. Mary’s work has been featured in many publications online and in
print, as well as in numerous restaurants and cafes throughout the city. She is
currently pursuing a master’s degree in nutrition in hopes of helping people
free themselves from the tyranny of frankenfood and reclaim their birthright:
health and happiness. Mary happily serves up three homemade meals a day to her
husband and son in their Watertown, Massachusetts home. Her work can be viewed
at MGBrackett.com.
ABOUT THE CHEF
Charlie Foster joins Woods Hill Table as executive chef with ten years of experience working for
acclaimed chefs such as Daniel Boulud and Ken Oringer. Working closely with the farm at
Woods Hill and the many small farms around Concord, MA, Charlie will be
preparing delicious and nutritional food selected from The Heal Your Gut
Cookbook.
ABOUT YOUR HOSTESS
Kristin Canty is the director/producer of Farmageddon: The Unseen War on American Family Farms. She is a first-time
filmmaker, small farm advocate, fresh milk drinker and mom. One of her
children was ridden with multiple allergies and asthma as a pre-schooler, and
when medications couldn’t help him, she found that raw milk helped him
recover. Since then, she has tried to buy most of her family’s food
directly from local, organic farms. When Kristin learned that farmers and
co-ops all over the country were increasingly getting raided by the government,
she set out to make a film about it. She hopes that when people see it, it can
change the tide of public pressure so that our government stops harassing and
adding costly burdens to our small, organic farmers. Kristin lives in Concord,
Massachusetts with her husband, four children, two dogs, two cats and 11
chickens.
